Taven's primary concern is getting free and legal from ROH. Without a contract tampering claim or time added to his contract or being in limbo. ROH/Sinclair is very litigious/vindictive as Cole, O'Reilly and Fish found out. Once he is I expect him to land with NXT. The New England Mafia is real and Triple H looks after Killer Kowalski students.

Will be the case for wrestlers below Ambrose's level at least. October's indie lineups will be pretty barren as a result.

Keith Lee will have a starring role in WWE and Netflix’s new movie “The Main Event”. Filming for the show reportedly finished last week, and the movie will be released at some stage in 2020. So they've obviously have plans and he's part of the WWE machine. But yeah he turns 35 in November. Has a lot of size on his frame, a college football star and wrestled the modern style on the indies for a good while. Who knows how long his body will hold up.

Certainly is. She talks about her father in her recent WWE Network documentary. Found out about the Cancer diagnosis the same day as her crazy match against Asuka and Charlotte at TLC 2018.

The feedback on the Culture City association has been effusive and really touching. Their tech really works. AEW is a rare piece of entertainment you can take an autistic child to or someone with similar issues to without much issue.

That and they have a contract with Full Sail. And possibly the State of Florida (tax reasons etc). Interested in what happens all of December and up to mid-January. It is a College campus and everything shuts down. The front gate is padlocked essentially. The poor international wrestlers who never see their families go home during that period.

Marty is a lock for AEW. Tessa still has a year to go with IMPACT contractually. IMPACT and AEW will have to agree to work with each other. Pillman and DBS are probably likely as AEW and MLW indirect/directly working together on MJF. Brody King's ROH contract is due soon enough.

On Tony's podcast with Conrad this week, they said Tony won't be doing live shows past September. Same announcement for Bruce was made when he went to WWE.....

Meltzer shutdown the Ziggler thing on his message board. Bodyslam.net isn't a legitimate news source and just makes up stories. Ziggler has a long term contract with the company.

Vince Russo
Russo's producer takes clips out of context from Wrestling journalists and then Russo implies they and fans are gay for liking Pro Wrestling. Rinse repeat.

NXT Takeover: Toronto 2019
Riddle was walking at Summerslam no selling Dain's attack at Takeover to be fair. Not exactly old school.

NXT Takeover: Toronto 2019
Meltzer wasn't exhausted by the G1 reviewing those matches I guess. You can make your "he's getting checks from AEW" now jokes too! If you didn't like the match you didn't like the match. I've no issue with that. But thinking Meltzer tricked people into liking it or the style in general is silly as is knocking the fans, especially those who were there live who did enjoy it. Likewise the stuff about that he can't work or doesn't know what he is doing. All that comes across as out of touch and elitist to me. Most of Gargano's matches have the crowd eating out of his hand with some of the loudest reactions in company history if not the loudest. Gargano has NXT's first million-dollar gate, the biggest NXT gate in the US and in Canada respectively. With a very poor Takeover win-loss record, a lot of questionable Creative and some really bad luck (Ciampa) meaning had to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. In something I don't advise wrestlers to do Johnny randomly lashed out at a friend of mine who buried the match completely last night: Obviously, I still agree with Gargano here.

NXT Takeover: Toronto 2019
Don't count on that. Dakota Kai was building up to finally standing up to Shayna on NXT TV before she got injured. Bianca Belair was planned to be Shayna's opponent last night but NXT Creative decided to give it to Mia Yim for whatever reason. So those two are the likely picks. Waiting to hear if Shayna actually injured her shoulder also. Maybe it was just selling?

Meltzer absolutely hated Cole/Gargano. You guys need a new talking point.

Ivelisse is really talented. Has the in ring, the promo, the look, the charisma. Will credit all those things. But her prior social media and locker room past points to another cup of coffee stint for her. Gets very little indie work as so few women want to work or share a locker room with her.

The Official Seth Rollins is Terrible Thread
Same. His entrance music is terrible too in an obnoxious, not this guy way. I am sympathetic towards him in terms of existing in an era of TV overexposure and poor Creative though.

The post match promos are choice though.

I like Tony too. WWE needs another lead announcer as I feel Corey Graves is overexposed and they can't call up Mauro due to HR reasons. But I can only see WWE signing Tony as anti-AEW, Starrcast and Conrad move.
